13 Jun The Power of Medical Canvassing
In private investigation, particularly within insurance defense, the value of medical canvassing cannot be overstated. This proprietary investigative technique provides a robust tool for confirming or uncovering a subject’s medical treatment history. Let’s delve into the benefits and processes behind this essential service, shedding light on how it ensures accuracy and integrity in claims investigations.
What is Medical Canvassing?
Medical canvassing is a proprietary investigative process that involves the need to creatively yet ethically obtain all available pertinent information not restricted or secured under HIPAA Laws.
While HIPAA laws restrict the release of specific personal medical information, when performed, we can legally confirm whether a subject has been treated, the dates of treatment, and sometimes any upcoming appointments. This information is crucial for verifying the legitimacy of claimed injuries or discovering pre-existing medical conditions that may have been omitted in a claim.
The Goals and Importance of Medical Canvassing
The primary goal of a medical canvass is to ascertain the truth about a subject’s medical treatment history. This can be instrumental in several ways:
Verification of Claims:
By identifying where and when a subject has received treatment, investigators could confirm if the injuries claimed are legitimate. This is particularly important in insurance defense, where fraudulent claims can lead to significant financial losses.
Uncovering Pre-existing Conditions:
Medical canvassing can reveal ongoing treatments for pre-existing conditions unrelated to the incident in question. This information can be pivotal in disputing claims if the current injuries are consistent with prior conditions.
Identifying Potential for Surveillance:
Discovering upcoming medical appointments through a canvass opens opportunities for surveillance, providing concrete evidence of a subject’s medical activities and potentially corroborating or disputing their claims.
